I Dreamed a Dream; Susan Boyle
Hello Everyone!
I woke up this morning and felt like I should take it slow this morning. I have lots of contemplating about the New Year. I have been feeling that this is going to be one of our biggest years yet here and Peace and Serenity. We are going to offer more classes, hire more readers so that we can better meet the needs of clients that want readings in the evenings and on weekends. We are also heading down to the “I Can Do It Conference in San Diego.” So lots of things are happening here. The FBI cases we are working on have had great break throughs and I attribute that to your prayers along with our willingness to want to help these families find closure and healing. So thank you so much for your help!
For those of you who know me, you know that my kids are the most important thing to me. I love that I am able to spend time with them as they grow and I value my time with them which is why I usually don’t work in the evenings or on weekends. I have recently reconnected with my love of children and have started writing children’s books. I absolutely love writing these stories and hope to get these books published some time this year.
With 2009 ending I give a big sigh of relief because I know that this year brings new promises for a brighter and much more hopeful future for us all. I don’t know about all of you but as I move forward with all of my projects though most of the time I am hopeful that they will come fruition at the right time and the right place, there are moments when I feel down and question the dream I have of being able to grow this company in order to touch more people. When this happens to me I can, if I allow it, get really down with those thoughts that are coming into my mind. “Are you sure you are a good writer?” “Do you really want to help with missing persons cases, are you qualified enough to do that?” On and on these thoughts can come if like I said I allow them to. Many times know, along with the Angels help, I simply allow the fear to come knowing that this is all normal. We all fear something that is new. I wanted to share a couple of things that work for me during this time in hopes that if you have something that you are bringing into your life that may look impossible you can use some of these tools as well.
One of my favorite things to do it to talk to myself until the fear dissipates. I once heard that Louise Hays says to herself, “This is only change, you are safe.” I love this one and use it often sometimes as many times as 20 times a day depending on much I need it. Then I practice self care, eat better then I did before, go on a walk or read inspiring quotes from those whom I admire like Albert Einstein, Andy Warhol, Ellen, or Oprah. I also do what I call borrow inspiration from others until I find the inspiration I am able to move forward. I do this by watching movies like “Field of Dreams”, “The Express”, “Blind Side” to name a few. My favorite person to watch is Susan Boyle when she sang “I Dreamed a Dream.” My heart opens up and I get a feeling that anything is possible as I watch her come alive on stage. I am so thankful to Susan Boyle that she came to us at a time where we all were feeling that the time to dream was over and the future looked so bleak. When she sang on that stage she did more than just sing, she inspired all of us. Here is the clip I watch so that I can borrow that kind of feeling until I am ready to believe in myself, and in my dreams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY
If you can, take a moment today to watch this. As you watch it try this; close your eyes and feel the feeling of having your dreams come true what ever they may be. Allow your Angels to be of assistance in helping you feel the dream come into a reality. When you are done journal and allow yourself to hold that feeling again when ever you are faced with fear or doubt. Go back to the place of knowing that your dream is in your heart for a reason. Listen to the dream and slowly work on it and allow it to come because it will and when it does, you will be just as inspiring as Susan Boyle was to those who crossed her path. You can then share your story about how your dreams came true for you with others. Hold on to your dream, listen to your heart, and allow the Angels to help it unfold and the right place and the right time for you. If you do this, you will have great joy in your life. This is my wish for you today.
Be Blessed,
Julie McNulty
